Mission
The mission of the McNair Scholars Program is to prepare undergraduate students from underrepresented segments of society to achieve success in graduate programs and to develop scholars capable of succeeding in research–intensive doctoral study, thereby increasing attainment of research-intensive doctoral degrees awarded to students from historically underrepresented groups. The SOU McNair Scholars Program is dedicated to supporting eligible undergraduate students, in all disciplines, in their pursuit of critical inquiry, active discovery, and professional preparation through providing a comprehensive graduate school preparatory program containing transformative research experiences, exceptional faculty mentorship, individualized academic support and scholarly experiences, and intentional opportunities to refine life-long learning goals for professional and personal development.
